I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 27. He recently got a red rash on his penis. The doctor thinks it is a fungal infection and gave him zocon for 15 days. I had got a similar infection two months back and I had received a similar tablet for 1 month. My boyfriend is still not fine even after taking the medication for 15 days. I am completely alright. However, I get my periods twice a month. Which did not happen earlier? I had taken emergency contraceptive around thrice in the past two months. Could that have caused it? Also if my boyfriend is not alright even after taking his medication could there be a chance that he has std. We two are sure that we do not have any other sex partner in the past 2 years. Please help to decide if I should be visiting a doctor to check for std.

Irregular periods are because of so many ecp. You should not take it so frequently as it can disturb your hormonal balance. Instead use a condom. Reg fungal infection, do this wash the affected skin two to three times a day. Keep the affected area dry. Avoid excess affected skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear. Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents. Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use. Keep your affected area, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower. After showering or bathing, dry the irritated affected area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly. Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in two cups of warm water. Wash the infected area with this solution and allow it to dry on its own. Another option is to apply a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and coconut oil on the affected skin. Like hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol can help kill off the fungus that's on the surface level of the skin. You can apply it directly to the affected area listerine: it has antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties, which help treat skin problem.

Hello, Intake of emergency contraceptive pills often leads to irregular periods and that may be the cause for your period problem. It's best that you once consult a dermatologist for your boyfriend. He may require a course of antibiotics, antiallergic and some ointment for local application. It will also be helpful if you take low dose combined oral contraceptive pills for at least 3 months which will make your periods regular.
